First confirm that reverse charge applies to the transaction. Pepper records the tax treatment you select; it does not determine eligibility from the customer’s country or VAT number.
The European Commission’s invoice rules specify the words “reverse charge” when the customer is liable for the tax under that procedure. Ask your accountant or tax authority about the treatment and any additional wording your case needs.
In Pepper
- Enter your business and customer tax details.
- Configure a tax rate with the reverse-charge category.
- Apply that rate to the relevant invoice lines.
- Add the required wording to the invoice notes.
- Review the PDF, tax breakdown and total before issuing.
Reverse-charge lines have no VAT added. The PDF shows the stored VAT numbers when filled in. Supported UBL exports use category AE for those lines.
Do not use a plain zero rate as a substitute for the correct category: zero-rated, exempt and reverse charge are different treatments. Pepper preserves the selected tax details on issued documents.
